Glazed Lemon Cream Scones with Crystallized Ginger

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Scones are among my favorite treats. They're easy to prepare, and even in their most basic state, they make an irresistible accompaniment to a steaming pot of coffee or tea. They're at their best, however, when imaginations run wild and creative cooks, using a bit of this or that, come up with flavor combinations that make their scones truly unique. Today's recipe was developed by Aimee Olexy for Food and Wine magazine and it is truly unique. When I first saw the recipe, I must admit I was underwhelmed, but I had an unused bag of crystallized ginger and I thought this would be as good a place as any to use it up. It was fortuitous happenstance. It took all of twenty minutes to make these scones and I suspect they are well on their way to becoming a family favorite. They are light, lemony and moist and have that soft texture that one expects in a creamed scone. If you enjoy mildly sweet European pastry, I think you, too, will love these gems and make them often, I know I will. Here's how they are made.

I've always hear people say scones are so hard to make.. they can go from perfect to awful in a matter of seconds.... I'm going with your version, then - seems much easier and I adore lemon glazed anything!
